there are q few matters Of finterestt to a large

be acted on. Particularly we call attention
to the necessity Of secusing appropriations
Of 4coursy money Tor :the improving Of
roads leading from various parts Of the
county toLittle Pals. Every large settle

seat, and county money could not be ex-
pended to the greater satisfaction and
advantage of the tax payers. A large
appropriation should be made for the i'm
provenent of the county roads leading
through the western,s art of Swan River
town and down to tsszzlhl bale. No a&rge
bridges are necessary, hut the road leads
through "a heavy timbered country *and
most of tie expense Of Improvements would
be for clearing and turnpiking. With the
exception of a few miles there is an excel
lent road from that part of Swan River,
and from Elm Date, to Little Falls, and
the settlers from that populous spart of the

improvement Five hundred dollars ex-

tne cry which is now filing St. Paul with

interests of all kinds would suffer. Not
one Of these evil forebodings has come to

Fire In Boston.


PosToS, April GA fire broke out
at 1890 this evening at 90 Milk street,
which was extinguished about 2 O'Clock,
hut in the mean time did heavy damage.
George X. Paul & Co., dealers in ma
chinery and small brass and iron cast
ings, occupy the lower floor and base
ment of 81 Milk street. Their stock
was worth about 100000. The damage
cannot now be stated. The second
floor, where the fire originated, is occu-
pied chiefly by o. J. Rand X Co., book
binders, whose stock was large, and
whose loss will probably be total Other
occupants, whose losses will be nearly
or quite total, are the Allen Governor
Company, Amos Pond, treasurer A. A.
Sanburn, Steam-Engineer and Mystic
Manufacturing Company, makers OF
emery.cloth and paper, mucilage. etc.
Messrs. Wright & Potter, State printers,
occupy portion of the building
and also the upper floors Of the build
ing adjoining, No. 100 Milk street, cor
Der of Post-Office Square. Their loss
will be very heavy. j. ii. Osgood *
Co., manufacturers of printers rollers,
located at No. Bath street, were al
most burned out. Their stock added
greatly to the fury of the flames. At
100 Milk street the principal occupant
is William j. Wilson, who has large
stock. The building is of granite, four
stories high. and owned by Lewis j..
Cabot, whose insurance is 5000. The
total loss will reach over s15, 600; insu-
rance, $4,000.

RICHMOND TOBACCO MARKET.

AfhIt D. 1906.
Auction sales Of bright new West Virginia
Wrappers show fairly-firm market, although
no fancy prices were paid. Inspections OF
new upland wrappers are still small and the
quality not 80 desirable. but sales have boon
made between 81 and 55c. in small lots. Old
wrappers are generally quiet medium bright
flllers find some demand, and there Is little In
quiry for better grades, though the latter seem
to hold stronger position. Business In sun
cured has been on a moderate scale, and IL
without noteworthy change in prices. Dark
new-cTOp leaf continues. for six weeks past, OF
fair TO medium quality chiefly, but with good
demand only for better grades. The general
market Is duh. From Powhaian and some
ether shippiDg-leaf counties prominent plant
ers cay the planting viii DO fun average,
whilo Il Is learned from fertilizIng-men that
tho Virginia tobacco crop will not be one half Of
that last year. They Judge by sales OF fertil-
iaers made. IA we'll as their agents reports and
their own inspections Of the country but since
the West is the great factor la tobacco, our
planting in Virginia Ii assuming less and less
importance. From tho Wost II would seem yet
doubtful Ct this acreage, but it IL generally
believed that no very groat reduction will take
place In the tobacco acreage. Meanwhile
there Is some Indication that Germany will
raise her importtax on our leaf, which would
leave but a small outlet for our common dark
tobaecos Bright leaf Is therefore apparently
In better position than dark.
